“Option one: Cheer from below the stage and receive five years’ worth of cultivation as a reward.”
“Option two: Compete on the stage and receive ten years’ worth of cultivation as a reward.”
“Option three: Make Qin Nianxue remember you by any means necessary, and receive the Divine Concealment technique that rewards the ability to hide one’s presence!”
Out of the three options, the last reward immediately caught Jiang Xiaobai’s eye.
Of course, he didn’t hesitate to choose the third option!
However, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t rush forward, he wanted to assess the situation first. Just then, the crowd parted and a young man stepped forward.
The young man had a long sword on his back and looked at Qin Nianxue on the stage with a smile.
“I’ve long heard about Miss Qin’s remarkable strength within Four Seas City. I came here today specifically to learn a thing or two.” Emitting a strong aura of confidence, the young man showcased his own cultivation level.
The mid-golden elixir stage. Although one realm lower than Qin Nianxue, his aura’s strength matched hers.
“Another talented youth has arrived. His abilities seem quite decent.”
“Haha, did you forget? There was a man who seemed stronger than Qin Nianxue but was defeated within three rounds.
“I wonder how many rounds this youngster can withstand. I’m betting he’ll be defeated within five.
The crowd began to discuss, but the young man ignored their comments and continued his approach towards the ring.
On the stage, Qin Nianxue barely glanced at the young man before dismissing him.
Feeling her contempt, the young man’s face twisted in anger. He jumped onto the stage, drawing his sword with a clang.
“Qin Nianxue, let me see just how strong a Sword Sea Sect disciple really is,” the young man snorted. Despite his defiance, Qin Nianxue still seemed indifferent, which infuriated him even more.
“I’m talking to you!” the young man reprimanded.
This time, Qin Nianxue finally responded: “If you want to fight, fight. No need to chatter like an old woman.”
Laughter erupted from below the stage. Even Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but chuckle. This girl’s fiery temper was indeed as explosive as rumored.
The insulted young man on stage felt humiliated. With a flush of anger, he lunged at Qin Nianxue, sword thrusting out.
In a fraction of a second, Qin Nianxue effortlessly stepped back while lifting her sword’s sheath to block the attack from a tricky angle.
“You won’t unsheathe your sword?” the young man gritted his teeth.
“With your level of skill, you’re not worth me drawing my sword,” Qin Nianxue scoffed, dealing yet another mental blow.
The young man was dumbstruck as she suddenly kicked him in his left chest. Then, like a ghost, she swiftly moved to his side and struck his cheek with her sword sheath, sending him flying!
From the start of the fight to his defeat, it only took three moves. The speed was astonishingly fast!
The young man slammed heavily into the ground, his face filled with disbelief. He couldn’t believe he was unable to withstand even two of her moves!
Moreover, she didn’t unsheathe her sword throughout the fight. For a sword cultivator, this was an extreme insult!
“Pathetic. With those abilities, you dare to challenge me?” From the stage, Qin
Nianxue sneered, “What a waste of my time.”
“You!”
The young man pointed at Qin Nianxue, speechless. Feeling the mocking stares, he stormed off in fury.
From his place in the audience, Jiang Xiaobai shook his head slightly. True, Qin
Nianxue was extremely talented and powerful, but her attitude was a bit too aggressive. She was making enemies very easily.
But that had nothing to do with him.
Having gotten a sense of Qin Nianxue’s power, Jiang Xiaobai decided to step forward, not wasting any more time.
The reward was only ten years’ worth of cultivation, but it was better than nothing. Besides, he felt that with a few more decades of cultivation, he’d breakthrough to the Yuan Infant’s full completion. Then, he’d be one step closer to transcendence!
Jiang Xiaobai casually walked towards the stage. Seeing another challenger approach, the crowd turned to look at Jiang Xiaobai only to gasp at his overwhelming attractiveness!
He was breathtakingly handsome!
The ordinarily icy Qin Nianxue on the stage also gave him a few more glances. But that was all. As compared to appearances, she valued individual strength more.
Jiang Xiaobai calmly reached the stage, smiling faintly, “I would like to give it a try.”
“Hmph, if you’re just as mediocre as the previous one, I don’t see the need to waste my time,” Qin Nianxue replied coldly.
A truly annoying character. However, Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t bothered. He wasn’t actually here for the martial arts competition, he just wanted the system’s reward.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled lightly, keeping one hand behind his back as he faced Qin Nianxue, “If you don’t unsheathe your sword, you won’t stand a chance.”
“Ridiculous. With your skinny arms and legs, you expect me to draw my sword? I think my sword would probably knock you down the moment I unsheathe it,” Qin Nianxue scoffed disdainfully.
Jiang Xiaobai shrugged, paying her no mind. He wanted to get the reward for ten years of cultivation as quickly as possible.
Jiang’s figure instantly vanished from his original spot. Two of his fingers tapped together, and a sword aura manifested, rushing ensue towards Qin Nianxue.
Seeing this, Qin Nianxue’s pupils tightened. She knew if she didn’t unsheathe her sword, her defeat was inevitable!
The echo of a blade being unsheathed was heard below the stage. Qin Nianxue’s top-tier magical tool, her long sword, was drawn. Then came a loud bang as Qin Nianxue staggered back, looking at Jiang Xiaobai in shock.
The crowd immediately gasped in surprise.
“Somebody actually forced Miss Qin to draw her sword?”
On the stage, Qin Nianxue frowned, “You do have some abilities, to make me draw my sword.”
As she said this, an unexpected blush colored her face. After all, Jiang Xiaobai
had warned her earlier. She just didn’t take him seriously, at the time.
Now, having seen the extent of Jiang Xiaobai’s abilities, she was left with a
single word in her heart:
Strong!
“In that case, I’ll use all my strength to counter you.”
As she finished her sentence, Qin Nianxue raised her sword and swiftly lunged towards Jiang Xiaobai. Her sword strike threatened Jiang Xiaobai’s chest, immediately followed by her knee.
The two attacks were equally swift and powerful. This was swordplay!
Facing her fierce onslaught, Jiang Xiaobai remained calm and composed, with his right hand still at his back. He then used the sword aura from his two fingers on his left hand to easily block Qin Nianxue’s attack.
But Qin Nianxue also worthy of being a gifted disciple from Sword Sea Sect. She instantly responded with a swift movement, turning to strike at Jiang Xiaobai’s throat.
Jiang Xiaobai’s figure flickered and vanished, reappearing behind Qin Nianxue just as she was trying to block his impending attack with a sweeping motion of her sword.
However, the disparity in their power was too overwhelming. Jiang Xiaobai was much faster, and in a blink, he placed his fingers on the nape of Qin Nianxue’s neck.
“You’ve lost..”
